About me
Dr. Ronald M. Krauss is an endocrinologist who cares for patients with lipid disorders (abnormal bloodstream levels of fats, such as cholesterol and triglycerides) and a high risk of cardiovascular disease.
Krauss' research focuses on identifying specific features of a patient's lipid profile that increase the risk of developing heart disease, as well as studying the mechanisms behind the benefits and unwanted side effects of statin drugs. Krauss' research accomplishments include identifying three metabolic characteristics of atherogenic dyslipidemia (an abnormality strongly linked to both heart disease and type 2 diabetes) and developing methods that laboratories commonly use to assess this trait.
After earning a medical degree at Harvard Medical School, Krauss completed a residency in internal medicine at Boston Medical Center and a fellowship in pediatric endocrinology at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center.

My discussion with Dr Krauss was precise, timely and provided me the guidance and insight needed to undertake the care I need. I cannot overstate his level of empathy and knowledge, his patience and willingness to address my questions and concerns. On top of that, his candor and clarity in explaining matters is exemplary. On top of that, I am simply grateful to be able to be under his care given his expertise.
